Sideshow JDGB track ” Go up” — Check out song from Sideshow JDGB, I like this song. I was going through the Hip Hop groups and I came across the song. It was a better song that most of the songs that littered the slots in the groups. I wanted to to share this song because well, I think it has a pop flavor. I can see a good amount of people liking this song if they get the chance to hear it.
Top Ten Artists to Listen too if you want more Andre 3000 – Artist # 9 “I like Andre 3000, judging by his history and appeal many of you like Andre as well. The problem is that there is only one Andre 3000. However Absolute Zero has created a list of other acts that do not just imitate style(that’s not Hip Hop), no they have a similar soul and vibe that naturally remind you of Andre. This is an intro to a score of artists you may not be familiar with, that could be substitutes for Andre.

Raury isn’t a large mainstream voice in hip-hop at the moment. So I’m going to make a few introductory posts for his music. I’m going to showcase the 5 most essential songs in Raury’s catalog, in my humble opinion.
Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #5 part 1 – I’m finally at the starting point. I finally started to get good enough at writing to move forward with the website. So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. So today was a big day for me. Immortal Technique was performing in Miami and I was looking forward to the concert. I had my tickets printed from the day before. I had pretty much everything ready to go and in place. I didn’t want to have any problems getting to the show, and I definitely wasn’t trying to be late. After helping my Aunt out a bit with some computer problems she was having, I started getting dressed for the Immortal Technique concert. It was already five o’clock and the show started at 8. I needed to start getting moving. The show was a considerable drive away, especially considering I had to pick up RJ first. While literally about to leave the door, my mom tells me that her car broke down in front of the house. She wanted a jump start, Read More…
Catalyst Saturday Mic Live 12.19.15 Event Summary Saturday, December 19th I went to Saturday Mic Live at Catalyst Hip-Hop. I had gone to an amazing Bboy Jam earlier in the day. Every Saturday the good people at Catalyst open up the church building to the public. This place is so hip-hop and so positive it’s amazing.
I went to a super dope jam on Saturday 19 of December 2015. The event was the 14th anniversary of Catalyst Hip-Hop. For anyone unfamiliar with Catalyst, they are an organization based out of CrossBridge Church. They have been providing a space for hip-hop culture in the south florida area. Honestly they are one of the most positive organizations I’ve ever been associated with. They provide a space for Bboys to practice and meet for free. They provide a space for hip-hop and freestyling for free.They are one of the only places outside of skate parks that I’ve seen with public graffiti walls, once again for free.They stick very close to the roots of hip-hop and it’s really appreciated. The church staff is kind, and they aren’t invasive with their message. They are very respectful and allow you to talk to them at your own pace. (If you want to learn more about the church or get involved with message they are available to help you ). I’ve never felt judged for my beliefs while at catalyst, and they don’t try to censor anything. Everything about the organization is amazing. They are just so authentic with the traditional feeling of Read More…
Hip-hop instrumentals are often stationary, but they don’t have to be. I love when I get a well executed beat switch, it makes the track more dynamic and interesting. This track is one of the best examples of a beat switch I’ve ever seen. Every few measures the beat evolves into something new.
Audio Engineer/Sound Engineer An audio engineer works with the reproduction, recording, and mixing of sound. This is a broad term that can be applied to someone working the soundboard at a live show, someone who records and mixes audio in a studio, or someone who helps construct rooms for audio quality.

Mixing 1 ) Engineering Mixing is the process of taking all the individual elements of a song or instrumental and forming them together into something that sounds good. Often times sound engineers try to give each instrument its own space in the mix and make sure that elements don’t overlap each other. This is more of an art than a science. A good mix is very subjective and depending on the genre of music you’re mixing for there is a different set of standards for what constitutes a good mix. 2 ) DJing In DJing, mixing generally referrers to blending multiple songs together and playing them out at the same time on the live mix.

Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #4 I’m finally at the starting point. I finally started to get good enough at writing to move forward with the website. So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. Man my sleep schedule is messed up. I woke up today at 4 AM to write more blog entries. I didn’t even plan to go to sleep. I feel asleep writing at my desk. I woke up at like midnight and slid into my bed. I might be borderline narcoleptic. I can fall asleep almost anywhere. At least I’ve never fallen asleep while driving.
Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #3 – I’m finally at the starting point. I finally started to get good enough at writing to move forward with the website. So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. I started the day helping out my grandmother. She is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. She was born and raised in Jamaica and has a lot of strong principles about her. She works hard and is never the type to hold her tongue, even when it might get her in trouble. I don’t know if she does this consciously (like fuck the consequences) or unconsciously but she is a character. She needed some help on the computer and I helped her do what she needed to do. After I was finished I had to leave immediately. I got a job offer and I needed to hand in my social security card. unfortunately I misplaced it and I spent literally all of yesterday day searching for it. I made it out to the Guitar Center and after a while was Read More…
Daddie Notch ( Jah Road ) Daddie Notch ( Jah Road ), rate his music so he can grow as an artist so he can either be a better version of the artist you like now or a can become closer to the artist you want him to be – – support this dude -What is my recommendation, I would like to have this music receive more comments on Daddie Notch’s accounts.

Then let’s support by listening and leaving our thoughts on criticisms on how we can improve as artist. Its not always about the money, as artist we really want to improve. So let’s do this with Daddie Notch, we need to esp raise the bar of music coming from Read More…
Robson Pires – Wait A Little More (E-Studio Session) — A Song for the social wolf This is a song list for an incredible artist named Robson Pires . I want to showcase a song every day until Robson’s big release and farewell party . This song “Wait A Little More” is a more upbeat song. It deals more with life, its the kind of song that’s good for pondering. I think it stirs the romantic, rustic adventurer in all of us. This is the song that you would listen to before going to discover your mental party. It really has a social element, that makes you want to interact with other people after listening to it.
